Chapter 398 Yes, He is Our Child
Outside Bozhou City.
Li Nuo bowed to all the masters and said, "Thank you very much."
The masters of the two countries clasped their fists in return.
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome!”
"You have helped us a lot, this is nothing..."
"If you need any help in the future, just tell me..."
…
After bidding farewell to the masters of Daxia and Zhao, Li Nuo watched them leave.
Everything in Yue State has been settled for the time being.
Including the Yue royal family, all those involved in a series of illegal activities such as kidnapping and extortion, human trafficking, prostitution, and organ trading have been punished by law, and thousands of people have been beheaded.
What made Li Nuo sigh was that the vast majority of these people came from Daxia.
For the sake of profit, they extended their butcher knives to their compatriots. The victims who were deceived here, under their coercion, will continue to deceive more compatriots...
Some of the people who were rescued were both victims and perpetrators.
Even if they were sent back to Daxia, they would still be subject to further investigation.
There are also some relevant personnel in Wei and Chu, and the White Wolf Army cannot track them down for the time being.
The Yue Central Army and the Black Tiger Army were disbanded and reorganized, and those fifth-level military strategists were also subdued by Li Nuo using special means.
He refined some poison pills and asked them to take them. If there was no antidote for a long time, even those at the fifth level would experience a life worse than death. Li Nuo gave the antidote to Bai Yu, so that even if he left, he could ensure that these people would not rebel again.
Li Nuo did not intend to obey the order of the Emperor of Daxia.
Today, Daxia is facing the biggest foreign threat since its founding and has no time to take care of other things.
Li Nuo looked at Bai Yu beside him and said, "General Bai, I'll leave this to you."
Bai Yu's face was solemn, and he said, "Don't worry, Master Li. My teacher told me to obey all your instructions. Unless I die, there will never be a new emperor in Yue!"
When he received the letter from the court, he also received a secret letter from his teacher.
The secret letter said that he could ignore the court's orders regarding the affairs of the Kingdom of Yue and only need to listen to Li Nuo.
Li Nuo already knew at this time that Bai Yu's teacher was the Right Prime Minister.
He had no doubt about General Bai's words.
But he still patted him on the shoulder and said, "If it really comes to a life-threatening situation, life should be the first priority. As long as people are alive, there is hope..."
Bai Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm still waiting to have a big fight with Lord Li, I won't die so easily..."
Li Nuo nodded, looked at the man in black beside him, and said, "Are you not going to leave?"
This half-saint of Wei State, the master behind the Zhaixing Tower, has been following them since the death of the Ximen Gudu brothers.
Li Nuo did not attack him.
A half-saint of martial arts is not a half-saint of Yin-Yang. The two brothers of the Ximen family can do nothing without their lifespan.
But the half-saint of martial arts who is nearing the end of his life still has the strength of a half-saint.
If he were pushed to the point of a desperate situation, Li Nuo could remain unscathed, but Senior Dongfang and Bai Yu and the others would probably be dragged down to be buried with him.
Li Nuo had the power to kill him, but he could not avoid his dying counterattack.
The destructive power of a semi-saint is too strong, and the conflicts between the sixth realms of each family will rarely come to this point.
What's more, he has no reason to take action against this person for the time being.
Huang Yuan smiled and said, "Are you going to Zhao State? Zhaixing Tower also has business in Zhao State. I am planning to go to Zhao State to take a look..."
Li Nuo naturally had no control over where a half-saint of martial arts was going.
He ignored the man, waved goodbye to Bai Yu, and soared into the air with Dongfang Xuan, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Huang Yuan didn't hesitate and followed immediately...
…
Zhao State.
Prince Zhao's Palace.
A few little guys were running around on the grass with clumsy steps.
Su Qing propped up his chin and looked at one of the small figures. He couldn't help wondering, "How come Zhao Che looks more and more like Li Nuo..."
At first, she thought the little guy might not have grown up yet.
But as he grew older, he looked more and more like Li Nuo.
She had seen Li Nuo when he was a child. At that time, he and his beautiful lady Yiren were running around on the grass like this. At this moment, Su Qing felt like she was dreaming back to twenty years ago.
He looked at Butler Wu behind him and asked, "You were the one who raised your young master. Tell me, does Zhao Che look more and more like Li Nuo when he was a child?"
Butler Wu showed an embarrassed look on his face and said, "I am old and have a bad memory. I have long forgotten what the young master looked like when he was a child..."
Yiren sat next to Su Qing, looked at Zhao Che for a long time, shook her head and said, "Maybe, it's just a coincidence..."
Although she also felt that this coincidence was too much, it was impossible in terms of timing.
Su Qing still didn't believe in coincidences, and frowned, "Is there any way to shorten the pregnancy time, or to make a baby who has just been born grow up quickly?"
Yiren glanced at her and said, "How can there be such a method..."
At this moment, another clear voice came from behind her.
"Yes, yes!"
Dongfang Qing held a candied haws in her hand and took a bite before saying, "For the Yin-Yang family, this is not a difficult task. However, to do this, one needs to have the cultivation of a sixth-level semi-saint..."
Whether it is shortening the pregnancy period or letting the baby grow up earlier, it is nothing more than making time pass faster for them.
This is the same principle as depriving someone of their lifespan.
If the target of Yin-Yang magic is an adult, it will speed up the passage of time for them, which means they will age quickly.
If the target of Yin-Yang magic is a fetus or infant, speeding up the passage of time for them means making them grow up quickly.
However, to shorten the pregnancy time and speed up the baby's growth, it not only involves Yin-Yang techniques, but also requires the help of doctors to ensure that the fetus and the baby can grow smoothly during the growth process. This is more tedious and complicated than taking someone's life.
Hearing this, Su Qing looked at Zhao Che again.
The Half-Saint of Yin-Yang School—The State Master of Zhao State, isn’t he the Half-Saint of Yin-Yang School?
Doctors - The most famous people in Zhao State were doctors.
At this moment, Dongfang Qing looked up and suddenly saw something. He immediately stretched out his hand and shouted, "Big Brother!"
She quickly ran to Li Nuo, looked behind him, and asked in confusion: "Big brother, where is my grandpa?"
Every time grandpa would come back with his older brother, but this time she didn't see him.
Next to Li Nuo, the young man Dongfang Xuan wanted to reach out and touch her head, but Dongfang Qing dodged flexibly and asked cautiously: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
A black line appeared on Dongfang Xuan's forehead, and he said, "You little Qing girl, you don't even recognize your grandfather?"
Dongfang Qing put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "How dare you pretend to be my grandfather!"
Li Nuo coughed lightly and said, "Qing'er, he is your grandfather..."
Dongfang Qing looked at Li Nuo, then at the young man, with a confused look on her face.
Dongfang Xuan sighed helplessly. After a moment, wrinkles appeared on his face again and his hair turned gray. Concealing his lifespan and making himself look older was a simple method used in Yin-Yang magic.
Looking at this familiar face, Dongfang Qing finally believed it and asked in confusion: "Grandpa, what happened to you just now..."
Li Nuo walked to the front and bowed to his mother-in-law. Su Qing asked, "How is the situation in Yue State?"
Li Nuo said: "It has been successfully resolved."
“Daddy!”
At this time, Li Nian and the others ran over with their arms open, and Li Nuo hugged them one by one.
Zhao Che had been playing with Li Yan and the others these days. Seeing them doing this, he also stretched out his arms to Li Nuo and shouted, "Daddy, hug me!"
Seeing Zhao Che's expectant look, Li Nuo had no choice but to pick him up as well. He was only a one-year-old child, and Li Nuo couldn't possibly bother with him about these things.
After a moment, when he was about to put Zhao Che down, Su Qing suddenly said, "Wait."
Li Nuo looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Qing looked at Li Nuo, then at Zhao Che in his arms, his eyes moving back and forth between their faces.
Yiren's actions were exactly the same as hers.
After seeing this, her previously very confident heart began to waver.
Su Qing didn't show anything and shook his head, "Nothing."
Li Nuo put Zhao Che down and couldn't help but look at him twice more. This child was pleasing to his eyes as he grew older...
In the small pavilion in the middle of the lake behind the palace, Li Nuo avoided his mother-in-law and the children and spent a few moments with Yiren. Then he asked, "Where are Jiahe and Anning?"
Yiren leaned in his arms and said, "One is reading books in the library of the imperial palace, and the other is investigating a case in the government office..."
She suddenly looked up at Li Nuo and asked, "I want to ask you a question, tell me honestly."
Li Nuo said frankly: "Just ask."
Yiren looked into his eyes and asked, "Is Zhao Che your and Zhiyi's child?"
Why are they bringing up the past again? Li Nuo said helplessly, "Even if you don't believe me, you should believe yourself. Do you think it's possible? When we left, Zhiyi was still an innocent girl. Did she only take two months from pregnancy to childbirth?"
Before becoming the empress, she had always been a pure virgin, which both Li Nuo and Yiren could see.
Although these were no longer visible after she became the empress, the timing does not make sense.
Yiren said: "I heard from Qing'er that there is a method of Yin-Yang School that can shorten the pregnancy time and make the baby grow up quickly..."
Li Nuo was slightly stunned.
Believe it or not, the Yin-Yang School really has this method.
For the Half-Saint of Yin-Yang School, this is a very simple thing.
As long as certain medical methods are used, premature babies can grow up like normal children.
Yiren continued, "Don't you think Zhao Che is too much like you?"
Li Nuo fell silent for a moment.
Having said that, doesn’t he know whether he and Zhiyi have done anything to have children...
Li Nuo was stunned again.
The two did have children, but not in reality, but in dreams...
When he left Zhao State for the first time, Li Nuo had the same dream almost every night.
Could it be that...
…
The Imperial Palace.
Imperial study.
Zhao Zhiyi was looking down at the memorials when he suddenly looked up, put down the memorial in his hand, and said, "You're back."
Li Nuo walked in from outside and nodded.
Zhao Zhiyi walked out from behind the desk, and suddenly thought of something. He looked at Li Nuo again, sizing him up and down, and then asked, "Have you broken through to the semi-saint level?"
Originally, she could see through Li Nuo's cultivation.
But at this moment, he stood there like an ordinary person.
His cultivation level could not regress, so the only possibility was that he had broken through to the semi-saint level. When he reached the semi-saint level, he could completely conceal his aura, and even people of the same level would not be able to see through him.
Li Nuo did not deny it. He looked at Zhao Zhiyi and said, "I want to try and see what the difference is between a Half-Saint of the Legalists and the emperors of the five dynasties..."
Zhao Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
Li Nuo clenched his hands, and the space around Zhao Zhiyi seemed to be imprisoned.
An invisible cage appeared around her body, and as Li Nuo's hands clenched, the cage slowly shrank.
However, Li Nuo soon noticed strong obstacles.
Once the cage shrinks to a certain size, it can no longer shrink.
Zhao Zhiyi took a step forward, and the cage of laws that he had condensed with all his strength completely shattered.
Countless whip shadows attacked her from the void.
But there seemed to be an invisible barrier around her, and all the whips of law dissipated into pure force of law before they could touch her.
These forces of laws quickly gathered together and eventually formed a long sword, which slashed down fiercely at the barrier.
Even a Martial Saint of the Sixth Realm would be seriously injured by this sword.
An invisible wave came from the void, and the sharp knife also turned into the power of law and dissipated.
Zhao Zhiyi still stood there motionless, but Li Nuo's body took several steps back.
Then, his eyes blurred and a white hand landed on his chest.
Li Nuo used the power of exile, but it had no effect on her.
He had no choice but to apply this power to himself and instantly put some distance between him and her, but the next moment, her figure followed him, her palm still pressing on Li Nuo's chest.
If she had any ill intentions towards Li Nuo, Li Nuo would have been seriously injured if not dead.
Zhao Zhiyi gently straightened his collar and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and said with conviction: "As expected of the emperor of the Five Dynasties..."
What Senior Dongfang said was correct. Even a half-saint from the Legalist school would not be able to fight back in front of the emperors of the five dynasties.
There seemed to be an absolute territory around her.
In this area, she is almost invincible.
If one wants to defeat him in this field, I'm afraid that only Li Nuo can become a true Dharma Sage...
However, Li Nuo's strength is fixed, and his cultivation will not change whether he is in Zhao or Daxia.
When Her Majesty left Zhao State, she was only slightly stronger than an ordinary half-saint. She had no problem dealing with ordinary martial arts half-saints, but the outcome of a battle with a legalist half-saint was uncertain.
Not only is he now in the capital of Zhao State, but he is also in the imperial palace. In the entire continent, if there is no saint who has secluded himself from the world, I am afraid no one can defeat her here.
Thinking of this, he felt much better.
Li Nuo looked at Zhao Zhiyi and suddenly said, "By the way, where is Prince Sheng imprisoned? I want to go see him."
There was a trace of panic on the face of Her Majesty the Queen. She did not dare to look at Li Nuo. She looked away and said, "You, look at what the Emperor is doing. He doesn't want to see us..."
Li Nuo smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just that Zhao Che saw Li Yan and the others calling me daddy and he also clamored for a daddy. It's best to let this child see his father more often. After all, a father is very important in a child's growth process..."
Zhao Zhiyi looked at Li Nuo. She knew that he might have noticed something.
After all, this was not a glorious thing. She had intended to hide it from him, but who would have thought that Che'er was so much like his father, even more like Li Yan and the others...
She took a long breath and said, "No need, Che'er, he just met his father today."
Zhao Zhiyi looked into Li Nuo's eyes. Facing the astonishment and disbelief in his eyes, he nodded and said, "Yes, Che'er...it's your and my child."
